Things that non-admin moderators need

Hello again (so soon? :) ) Ok, here's a list of things that non-admin moderators need: 1) Visibility of a moderation queue, such that we can deal with flagged posts without 'trawling'. This should really be visible from the main page, and conspicuous. 2) The ability to merge questions. I have used that quite a lot in the past to merge questions where the OP has asked a question twice, and both have received answers. The SE interface for this was rubbish - you had to look up questions, type in the IDs... It would be better to be able to have a link on one question 'Merge this question into another' which then bought up a search box so you could search for the post you wanted to merge into, then a confirmation box which explained, in plain english, what was going to happen (i.e. The answers for question 'xxx' will now become answers to question 'yyy'. Votes and views for question 'xxx' will now be added to the votes and views for question 'yyy'. Question 'xxx' will then be deleted. Are you sure?) I am sure there are some more, but I can't remember them at the minute :) Edit --> Ok, a couple more that I have been reminded of: 3) The ability to merge tags. I didn't use this much, because I didn't do a lot of re-tagging, but this is a very useful tool in terms of being able to keep the number of tags down to a minimum. 4) The ability to view / edit / delete users' details. This has proved very handy in the past, especially when deleting users who register to post questions about internet poker. And another that I thought of: 5) The ability to email users would be very useful - just a form in which moderators could send messages to users. For example, a good friend a while back posted his answer into the wrong forum then went to bed. It was particularly unfortunate, as the question he was trying to answer was 'how do I delete all the data in a database irrespective of foreign keys', and producing the answer to that in response to a normal question seemed quite rude. The ability to have emailed him from the forum saying 'actually - did you really mean this?' would have helped. In that case I knew him anyway and was able to email him, but still.
